Welcome to the weekly update 👋
This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, small groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next seven days.
Sunday, August 2nd
This Sunday we’ve got a special treat - our VBS kids will be leading the music portion of our service, sharing the songs and actions they learned during this week of VBS. And since it’s the first Sunday of the month all LifeKids will be joining us in the auditorium for music before being dismissed to LifeKids where they will learn about Jesus on their level.
- Prayer Team - Meets in the Family Room at 9:30a (anyone can join)
- 10:00am Worship Gathering - Join us for Sunday service in person or online. On the first Sunday of each month our LifeKids join us for music in the auditorium.
- Kids Ministry - Age-specific programming during the service
Upcoming Events

- Back-To-School Bash, August 30th following the morning worship service. Make plans to hang out with your Real Life family after church for hot-dogs, hamburgers and fun!
Are you New at Real Life? Take the next step.

Join us for Pizza with the Pastor—a relaxed meal where you'll hear the story of Real Life from pastor Corey, have time to ask questions and discover how you can get connected. We'd love to save you a seat.
This Week's Message
"Wired to Worship"
Pastor Corey • Genesis 1:26-31, Romans 1:21-25

Wired to Worship kicks off our iDols: Identifying What Shapes Us series, where we are looking at the things that receive our trust, attention, and allegiance—and how they shape who we become.
This week, we begin with the truth that human beings were created in the image of God to reflect Him within creation. Sin distorted that calling but did not remove it. We still give ourselves to something, and we gradually become like whatever we place at the center of our lives.
The question is not whether we worship. The question is what we are becoming through what we worship.

We had a great group of kids for VBS this past week -
They memorized bible verses, sang songs, learned about the armor of God (just ask them!) and created their own minecraft worlds that will be on display Sunday morning. All week they had minecraft themed foods - but on Thursday everything was minecraft - Cubed ham, turkey and various cheeses and the kids loved it (thank you Dena for planning the meals!). One volunteer said commented how good the kids were and fun it was to have the ages mixed up in each group so they could help each other and learn together. It was a great week and Sunday morning the VBS kids will lead us in music with all the songs they learned!
